On the planet Kaller, Clone Force 99, also known affectionately as ‘The Bad Batch’ for their unique genetic alterations and war-fighting style, do what they do best – destroy Separatist forces. After a victorious battle alongside Jedi Master Depa Billaba, the Bad Batch leaves shortly before Order 66 is issues by the Supreme Chancellor himself. The rag-tag bunch then finds itself falling apart when Crosshair wants to follow the order and kill Jedi Padawan Caleb Dume, while the others feel it wrong to kill a Jedi when the orders make no sense. Amidst the confusion while returning to Kamino, they will be even more surprised when they find that there is a member of their team they have never met: a young female clone named Omega. But the surprises are about to continue: when Governor Tarkin sends them to deal with a group of ‘insurgents’ on Onderon, Clone Force 99 is about to find all of its loyalties questioned.

Meanwhile, on Kamino, Crosshair is given command of the Elite Squad – a powerful group of non-clones prepared for a deadly mission.
4: Cornered
Realizing they need to scramble the Marauder‘s signature as it is listed on an Imperial wanted list, the Bad Batch lands their ship on Pantora to obtain fuel and tools to scramble the ship’s identification signature.

Hunter must notice soon and give chase or Omega could be lost forever.
5: Rampage
Seeking information regarding the bounty on Omega, the Bad Batch heads to Ord Mantell to speak with an old informant Tech knowns about named Cid Scaleback. Cid has the information they need but tells them it will cost a heavy price: travel to the other side of Ord Mantell and bring back a kid named ‘Muchi’. The clones agree to the job but are surprised to find that Muchi is actually an infant rancor. Before they can bring Muchi back though, they are captured by its slavers- Zygerrian guards. Even if they can escape, they’ll need to find a way to rescue Muchi and tame the young rancor.

Starting a new ‘mutually-beneficial arrangement’ with the Cid, the Bad Batch travels to Corellia to do their second job for the Trandoshan informant.

The race is on, and the two parties may find that working together is the only way they can both get what they need.

Along the way though, Wrecker has been having headaches – a concerning sign that his inhibitor chip may be slowly activating. And just as the Bad Batch arrives at the medbay to get their chips removed, Wrecker snaps and begins attacking his comrades. It will take all of the team’s careful skills to neutralize Wrecker quickly – before they are all doomed.

Cade Bane has captured Omega and is taking her to the client – none other than Kaminoan, Lama Su.

Before Bane can collect his bounty from Taun We on Kamino though, he finds her dead at the hands of Fennec Shand, who has taken the credits for the bounty. Soon, the two are dueling, allowing for Omeag to try to escape. The Bad Batch will have to hurry to rescue her before she is caught in the crossfire- or plummets to the bottom of the ocean.

His adventurous daughter, Hera, also feels the same way and seeks to spy on the Empire, feeling the Empire is hiding something. Getting involved with Gobi Glie and other Twi’leks who suspect Imperial foulplay, Hera finds herself on a moon next to Ryloth where the Bad Batch was sent by Cid to deliver weapons and bombs to the group of Rebel Twi’leks. But Crosshair had been tracking the Twi’lek ship and Hera and her friends are arrested for treason without a trial; Hera’s father, Cham, is horrified by the news. Hera’s detainment may spark a new war on Ryloth.

In a desperate plea for help, the Bad Batch agrees to help Hera recover her parents, with plans to attack a refinery as a distraction to free Cham and Eleni.

In order to get her parlor and dignity back, Cid hires the Bad Batch for a ‘spice heist’ to ruin a deal that Durand had made with the Pykes by stealing the spice themselves. But the heist turns sour when the team is caught off-guard by winged creatures in the tunnels they are smuggling the spice through. They will have to make a new deal with the Pykes if they are to survive – or they may never see Omega again.

But time is running out – Tipoca City is about to be destroyed.

From the view of a Venator-class star destroyer, Vice Admiral Edmon Rampart oversees the destruction of Tipoca City as orbital blasts began destroying the cloning facilities.

Rescuing Crosshair who had temporarily been knocked unconscious, the team will have to work together to use the underground tunnels to escape before they are flooded. But with sea creatures lurking in the depths and many of the tunnels collapsed, survival will not be easy. And Crosshair still is not on their side.
Just alright. Not a very interesting story honestly
